The Move to Independence

2019 saw the SASSOT Board undertake a fundamental review of our governance arrangements.

Following careful deliberation the decision was taken that SASSOT would transition to an independent body by 2020.

This decision gives us a more secure financial future and will allow us to become a more responsive and agile organisation. Subsequently we have established a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), and with the help of a public vote we agreed to name ourselves ‘Together Active’ and we are excited to introduce the brand!

Our go live date is the 1st September; you’ll continue to find all the familiar faces as we TUPE the team over but also some new ones, as we have recently undergone a round of recruitment.

We will continue to deliver many of our SASSOT products and services. However, during the autumn we plan to begin our strategy consultation and we can’t wait to get your views and opinions to help shape our direction of travel.

The Board would like to take this opportunity to publically thank Stafford Borough Council for nearly 20 years of outstanding support; we cannot overstate the part they have played in SASSOT’s success.
